Future Cruise Deposit & OBC for single occupancy

[OceanMonarch]

My apologies if this has been asked before but I did a quick search and could not find the answer.

 

I purchased a FCD for my daughter whilst on board the QM2. She intends to sail alone and according to the standardized paperwork received, an OBC of $150.00 is the norm for this length of voyage/cabin selected.

 

Whilst at the on- board office the Cunard sales representative stated she would receive $300.00 and yesterday my travel agent checked with Cunard and apparently she will receive the $300 + $100 (from the agent).

 

This seems to good to be true.:) Has anyone had exact experience of this double OBC for singles? I guess you're being charged 100% surcharge for single occupancy so this could be the reason.

Not me personally, but I do know several singles who have received double OBC - and for the very reason you state.

 

Hope she enjoys spending it :)

Yes, I frequently receive double or almost double on my single bookings.

That's really good to know. I travel almost exclusively solo. I've never received a double OBC...because although the cabin price is pp, the OBC is per cabin....very tricky of the other cruiselines...:cool:

 

I'm sailing soon on QM2 and if all goes well, I just might look into buying a FCD.

 

Thanks for that information..hope it doesn't change before I get to take advantage of it..:D

Booked the voyage and received written confirmation of $300.00 + $100.00 OBC. Yippee!:) Costs the same as an economy class flight!

I received double OBC on the 2014 World Voyage.
